Access MySQL from box IP about homestead

[brunowego]

Hope this help anybody.

I also get this error using Sequel Pro and MySQL Workbench, seems it isn't possible to "tunnel in".

But when I connect normally, using port 33060, neither the root or homestead users have the "GRANT" privilege, so I can't create other users using those accounts.

Frustrating.

SSH into the VM

ssh [email protected] -p 2222

Login to MySQL, the password is secret

mysql -u root -p

Setup the root user to have GRANT privileges from anywhere.

GRANT GRANT OPTION ON *.* TO root@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO root@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';
GRANT SUPER ON *.* TO root@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';

Remove the alternative root users.

DROP USER 'root'@'10.0.2.2';
DROP USER 'root'@'homestead';
DROP USER 'root'@'localhost';
DROP USER 'root'@'127.0.0.1';
DROP USER 'root'@'::1';

Setup the homestead user to have GRANT privileges from anywhere.

GRANT GRANT OPTION ON *.* TO homestead@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO homestead@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';
GRANT SUPER ON *.* TO homestead@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';

Remove the alternative homestead users.

DROP USER 'homestead'@'10.0.2.2';

Now flush the privileges.

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
